Is a Real Estate Career Right For Me?

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a simple test to tell you if real estate is the right career for you? Maybe the test would sound like this:

Q: Do you get up before your alarm goes off?

A: If yes, you’re a go getter. This is good.

Q: Did you belong to the pep club in high school?

A: If yes, you’re enthusiastic. This also is good.

Q: Do you remember everyone you ever met?

A: If almost yes, this is good because you’ll need all the contacts you can muster.

Q: Which of these better describe you? Perseverant or indefatigable?

A: Either one will certainly help you do well in real estate.

I am just kidding about these questions. But, there are some general attributes to start you thinking about your suitability. Do any of these describe you?

Self-starter
Hard worker
Flexible
Affable
Good listener
Acquainted with the territory
Informed about the product

Let’s talk about just two of these:

Affability is a pleasant and friendly way with people. In some professions, it ranks higher than ability, affordability, and accessibility. This is really important in real estate sales.

And the need for knowledge….where can you start? How about online? Since you are online now, this is obviously a medium where you are comfortable. You can search online, in your usual way. For example, if you Google “real estate schools”, it will bring up a list of real estate schools offering both online real estate courses and traditional classroom courses. Do you want to remain in your current job and take courses in your free time? Do you need flexibility for your family? You can do this!

This is a good 10-question real estate career quiz that can help you determine whether you would make a good real estate salesperson.
